Katy Perry Confirmed to Headline Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Concert

The performance marks the singer’s return to the UAE stage and will be part of her upcoming world tour, which kicks off this month in Mexico. Known for her blockbuster hits including Roar, Firework, and Dark Horse, Perry has become one of the biggest-selling female artists of all time, with over 100 million certified units sold globally.

Organisers say her appearance will add even more excitement to the closing day of the Formula 1 season in Abu Dhabi. David Powell, Chief Strategy & Business Development Officer of Ethara, noted, 'We are delighted that the first act we can announce for the 2025 Yasalam After-Race Concerts is global pop icon Katy Perry. Her energy and electrifying performances will reflect the thrill of the F1 season finale in Abu Dhabi.'

Now in its 17th year, the Yasalam concert series has become a major part of the F1 weekend experience, with past line-ups featuring the likes of Eminem, Maroon 5, and Peggy Gou. More acts for 2025 are expected to be revealed in the coming months.

Tickets for the Grand Prix weekend are already in high demand, with fans encouraged to book early. Golden Circle upgrades are also available for those looking to get closest to the stage during the concert.
